I have this setup installed in my place. It works well, no issues and connects well with my phone over wifi. Does anyone know whether there is an alternative smart thermostat that works with this setup, wirelessly like this?
Great content! I live in Northern Virginia (muggy humid summers) My question is this- We have had weeks of rain (some day where its all day) I just recently noticed that my Nest is reading between 60 & 64 percent and in my kids bedrooms upstairs usuallly 58-61. Any cause for concern? Is it possible the fact its been raining so long that it has increased my homes humidity?
I've had a dehumidifier running in my basement for 2 weeks straight day and night uninterrupted, with the set goal of 45% humidity and the lowest level it has gotten so far is 60%. Anytime I open the doors to get some fresh air or whenever it rains, the dehumidifier's tracker shoots up to 75% and today I kept the door open while it rained, it got up to 80%. Most of the time it stays between 70% and 65%. I've read the instructions manual 5 times over. I have it connected to a hose that goes down the sink's drain for uninterrupted work. Two separate days I put the hose over a water tank to see if the dehumidifier was working at all. It would've filled the large tank within 24 hrs had I not been on top of it. I wonder if it's just a matter of time, since the basement has a lot of appliances, beds, mini-kitchen, bathroom, etc. I honestly thought the machine would do the job and now I am left wondering if that is just not enough.
I'm interested in to see the longevity of this unit after years of bumpy roads. I live in Michigan and our roads are brutal on vehicles because of all the pot holes.
